Students With Special Needs

Wilmington University actively supports the rights of students with disabilities to have equal access to education. Wilmington University makes every reasonable effort to accommodate the needs of students with disabilities.

The Office of Disability Services facilitates equal access to Wilmington University programs and activities for students with documented physical, sensory, learning, or psychological disabilities.

Students must contact and self-identify with the Office of Disability Services and furnish proper documentation of their disability in order to receive available services and/or accommodations.

College life is challenging for all students. For those students with physical limitations or learning disabilities, the successful transition to college life requires extra skills and flexibility. Students with special needs should be aware of the resources available to them that may make their transition to college life easier. In addition, they should be aware of the steps they must take to make their college experience more tailored to their special needs at college.
